The reappearance of the famous Star of Calimban is actually information provided by Master Luke, and he is the one to convince the leaders of the Alliance to commit resources to try and recover the Star of Calimban. The coordinates for sale, where the Star of Calimban is reputedly located, is of course offered up by an independent tradesman (smuggler).
The Star of Calimban is named after the famous Master Calimban, which was a Jedi Master from the race Schnorr' Spr'tt. It created many fabulous items, but the work it became the most famous for, was the Star of Calimban.
The Star of Calimban is a powerful Force-artifact, whose powers and potency is reputedly enormous. The exact nature of these powers and their potency is unknown, since the Emperor hunted and destroyed information and rumours of Force-artifacts with great dilligence.
The information about the Star of Calimban is known by the Jedis at the beginning, so they should be given the relevant player handout to read. However, much of this information will also be given in Scene 1: The Briefing, so the player characters will basically start with the same information.
At some stages in the scenario, the players may be in bad situations, for instance the encounter with the Longsword fighters. Be tough - if they don't make it, it's because they are unwilling to be Heroic and use Force Points, so there. Besides, the Alliance can always use martyrs.
"You (the commandoes) have been ordered to a tiny briefing-room on Coruscant. When you arrive there, you find that someone's already there (the Jedi) peacefully contemplating nothing. After a while, Major Vrix enters the briefing room, and the briefing starts."
(Read the information given about the Star of Calimban, and give the relevant player handout to one of the Jedi, in case you haven't already done so.)
"For this mission you have been allocated a pretty big strike force - up to three Y-wing fighters have been put at your disposal. You have been given 10 000 credits for the purchase of the information, and your contact will meet you on Kullasic, in the bar "Blue Blue Grass of Home". Three days from now, at midday local time (12.00PM), you will be sitting around table eight, and you will all drink Bluegrass cocktails. Good hunting. May the Force be with you all."
(Just then the door into the briefing room opens, and a Galaxy-wide known, fair haired person pokes his head into the room.) "Major, I think that was my line." (The person smiles - and it's Luke Skywalker!) (The Jedi should greet their master properly - a solemn bow is more than enough.) "I just thought I'd pop by and give you my best wishes before you hit hyperspace. See you all later." (He leaves again.)
Pentastar Alignmet-troops pops up, and a general free for all firefight is a fact. When the characters leave the place, a black Juggernaut without any marks or distinguishing features appears, and the Force-boys will sense the evil disturbance in the Force from High Inquisitor Laplaski.
After the player characters have been in hyperspace a while, cooped up in the tiny compartments of their Y-wing fighters, all the fighters will come out of hyperspace in formation above the planet Kullasic, a fairly insignificant planet as planets go. A Planetary Systems (10) gives the information about Kullasic, a Planetary Systems (15+) gives the information about the Pentastar Alignment. One check for each of the player characters with any skill in Planetary Systems.The rates for landing and refueling and stuff are the usual ones. 200 credits per fighter ought to stock it up with consumables, and pay for the parking the two days left to the meeting.
Some checking of the place where they will meet their contact reveals the "Blue Blue Grass of Home" as a relatively shady dive conveniently close to the space port; conveniently close, that is, for people that don't expect to be groundbased for too long. The usual assortment of strange aliens, which seem to be the norm for this kind of dive is of course present. A Rodian both owns and runs the bar. His name is Gsheedo, and isn't afraid of using the sawed-off Riot gun he has placed conveniently under the desk (8D Stun, 6D skill, no ranges to speak of). Gsheedo is, like all Rodians, a coward, and will not be of any help when the brown stuff hits the fan.
The Great Day arrives, and the group goes to the bar to drink bluegrass cocktails. The bluegrass cocktail is quite nauseating - anyone not a Duros (i.e., everyone in the group) must roll a Stamina (9) to avoid getting sick (-1D on all skills for a couple of hours - i.e., the penalty goes away when the GM feels like it).
After a while, the Duros with the information for sale appears at the table where the player characters are sitting with a bluegrass of his own. She sits down, and takes a long pull of her cocktail. After a satisfied sigh, she explains that she wants 11 000 credits for the informaiton. (Bargain 4D, normal rules for getting the amount down. It will not increase.)
A Perception (14) check will let one of the characters notice that a Kubaz (the same kind of longsnouted alien that showed the stormtroopers where our heroes were in A New Hope) leaves the bar about the same time that the "female" Duros sat down at the table. (By the way, a Duros is a blue humanoid with very red, bulbous eyes, no nose, and long, dexterous fingers.)
While the bargaining is going on, a Perception (12) check will let one of the characters know that the Kubaz comes back into the bar a little while later. A Perception (15+) on the same check will additionally let the character know that Gsheebo, the Rodian behind the bar, has decided to be someplace else quite soon, and is quetly leaving the bar through a hidden backdoor that of course locks itself after Gsheedo has left.
If nobody notices anything (poor Perception checks), the stormtroopers will get off a round of shots and warnings against the group, as the group is considered "surprised" that round. The female Duros will panick completely, and if it is at all possible she will be stunned by the stormtroopers while the group try to escape. If the female Duros is somehow rescued by the group, she will demand that she'd be taken to her own ship, which will subsequently be ionized by the Longsword fighters in a later Scene.
A while after the stormtroopers (equal to twice the size of the group) have crashed the party, a black, featureless Juggernaut will come driving up the street and stop in front of the bar. All force sensitive characters will have a bad feeling about that Juggernaut, and a successful Sense Force will reveal that an extremely evil person is seated inside.
This is of course the personal Juggernaut of High Inquisitor Laplaski. Accompanying him in the Juggernaut are at least twenty stormtroopers, not to mention that the Juggernaut itself is quite formidable (use the stats given for an AT-AT if you haven't got the stats for a Juggernaut); any combat between the High Inquisitor's forces and the player characters at this stage will probably be quite brief and quite brutal.
When the player characters are trying to take off with their fighters, the real fun starts. After some stalking and fighting with a stormtrooper platoon (5) which just happens to be in the vicinity of the landing pads, the player characters will now try to get away with their data tape. Which is probably easier said than done.
After the incident with the stormtroopers that popped up a little while before blastoff, the group blasts off into space, trying to get away. Some TIE-fighters have been detailed to prevent this from happening, but because of the frantic planet-wide activity that started after the Pentastar Alignment troops landed, things are a little hectic.
In addition to the TIE-fighters, Longsword fighters are also zooming around. The Longsword fighters are fighters specially built for disabling starfighter-scale ships. Interestingly enough, the TIE fighters don't fire to kill - they fire mostly to keep the attention off the Longsword fighters with the Ion cannons. However, this will probably change after the first couple of TIE fighters have been converted into metal scrap and space dust.
If noone tries to make a Sensors check when they blast of and rabbit into space, all the following tests will be at a +5 penalty, since they are flying strictly seat-of-pants and visual aids only. After someone has made a Sensors check (excepting a mishap, of course), the +5 penalty will be negated for that fighter only.
2: Dodge some random fire from ground-based troops. A Starfighter Piloting: Y-wing (13) check or a 3D damage test per point the Starfighter check was missed, i.e. the roll was 11 and the ship gets 2*3D (two tests with 3D damage each) against hull and any shields.
A successful Astrogation (17) check is needed to plot the course to the system the data tape has the coordinates to. Normal rules for how long it takes to plot a course and so on.
At the end everyone will be relieved when they can shake their boots of space dust and jump into hyperspace. A Planetary Systems (16) check will make the information about Yamari available.
Interestingly enough, the Star of Calimban isn't on Yamari 4, but on one of the moons of Yamari 4, known as "Small". The other moon of Yamari 4 is known as "Big". Is it necessary to add that the Yamarites are quite unimaginative?
Through various means (and perhaps through a little Force-sensing and stuff like that), the player characters find out that the Star of Calimban (or at least something that is a major disturbance in the Force, anyways) is on Yamari 4b (i.e., "Small"), and perhaps that Yamari 4b used to be the huntin lodge of a rich alien, which also owned the hunting rights on Yamari 4. The Yamarites will not volunteer any information, but hints that can be dropped if the player characters are totally clueless go along the lines of "are you here to hunt?" and that sort of thing. The Yamarites can also tell that the alien last was there 78 local years ago, which translates to 43 Standard years.
When the player characters come into the system, the Jedi should roll a Sense (12) check. If the Jedi also possess the power Sense Force, the difficulty is only Sense (7). If any or all of the Jedi succeed in this check, they are certain that the Star of Calimban (or some other, powerful Force-imbued artifact) is in-system.
Yamari 4 is a jungle planet, with only one town with something that is even close to a space port. It will actually be smart to shoot away some of the undergrowth growing over the landing dock area before touching down, a fact that a Starship Piloting (7) check will reveal. The plants are easily destroyed without any Starship Gunnery - nonmoving targets are pathetically easy to burn away, especially when you can take your time doing it.
The Yamarites will deny any involvement with anything even vaguely similar to the phrase "the Star of Calimban", and will only be politely interested in whether the player characters are there to hunt. That's the only question popping up - even at the bar. There are only two other off-worlders on Yamari 4 for the time being - it is obvious that a whole lot of nothing is happening here.
If anyone asks a Yamarite why they're so interested in hunting, a Persuasion (15), Con (15) or Bargain (15) (or any other relevant skill at a 15 difficulty, adjucated by the gamemaster) will reveal the following:
That hunter is the famous big game hunter Bor Bornass, that died ... 43 Standard years ago (a History (10) or something similar will give the player character this information). The Yamarite will also tell the player character that Bor Bornass had a hunting lodge in the vicinity of Yamari 4 - the exact words he used at those times he mentioned it, were supposed to be "somewhere where I can look down on you". The Yamarite isn't quite certain what Bor Bornass meant by that cryptic statement.
A Sensors (10) check will show that there aren't any mountains on Yamari 4 - the jungle has engulfed and destroyed any such features long time ago. A sensor scan of the moons ("Big" and "Small", translated from Yamaric) will show that "Small" have many energy sources on its surface.
Soldiers will try to stop the player characters inside the villa, but will not (in the beginning, at least) kill the player characters. If any of the guards are killed, the guards will get serious. The Force users will find that their ability to control and manipulate the Force is more random here than other places - their dice in Control and Alter will fluctuate wildly. The servants are still in stasis, but not the guards.
The simple fix is to wake one of the servants to ask where the Star of Calimban is, the difficult one is to search through the entire villa to find the Star. Force-users have difficulty pinpointing the location of the Star, because (1) there are other Force-active items here, and (2) even though it is powerful, the Star of Calimban is quite random and fuzzy in how it disturbs the Force.

The villa is more or less the way one can expect - spaceous and expensive - except that the stasis generators need a lot of energy to operate. There are 10 servants in the house, in addition to 12 Barabel guards.
The villa has a simple layout - at the bottom the power generators are, at the next higher level the stasis chambers are located, and airlocks, dining hall and servants' quarters are located at the level where the player characters enter (through two powerful blast doors which "Boom" probably will get to sing and dance before they fold up). At the top level, a lot of stuff and things are located. A Search (24) per hour will find the Star of Calimban after a while. A lot easier way to find the Star will be to wake one of the servants and ask the servant where the Star of Calimban is.
Note that it isn't necessary to kill or incapacitate all of the guards - if the guards can be convinced that at least one of the player characters are Jedi, they won't want to fight the player characters any more. An Alien Races (17) will give this information, given in the Handouts section.
High Inquisitor Laplaski and a number (2-3*number of player characters) of stormtroopers will crawl out of the woodwork after a while, and demand that the player characters hand over the Star of Calimban. Unless a guard has been posted, the bad guys will achieve total surprise - a good tactic for the bad guys is to place some soldiers outside the elevator, and wait until the player characters come down. If anyone makes a Search (30) check, this indicates that they looked outside just when the assault shuttle landed, and saw High Inquisitor Laplaski and the stormtroopers disembark.
High Inquisitor Laplaski is wearing a Kyaat armour, which is similar to a somewhat alienized traditional samurai armour, but with a blank, featureless faceplate in the helmet. High Inquisitor Laplaski will often use Affect Mind to project various horrifying visages on his faceplate - his opening gambit may be to project Darth Vader on his face plate, and command the player characters to give him the Star of Calimban. A variant, and particularly nasty one at that, is to make High Inquisitor Laplaski mask himself as Luke Skywalker, and demand that they hand over the Star. Of course, the stormtroopers may make that trick a little difficult to pull off.
The gamemaster is encouraged to come up with his own dirty tricks, and use them with abandon. Since this is the next to last fight in this scenario, it ought to be memorable. Perhaps some even will die. The opposing forces are not pushovers, at least. If the GM feels that the odds are too much against the PCs, he may have the Barabels pop up and fight the stormtroopers when they learn that High Inquisitor Laplaski is a Dark Jedi. Or Luke Skywalker may even come to help - or at least neutralize High Inquisitor Laplaski while the other player characters fight the stormtroopers.
Use the same setup as in Scene 3: Run Away, but with the following exceptions: there are 6 Longsword fighters, and one Interdictor class Star Destroyer preventing jumps in-system. When all the other opponents are destroyed, the player characters must get a fair distance away from the Interdictor to jump into the relative safety of hyperspace. And if everything seems to go the wrong way, Luke Skywalker could come to help.
Basically, that was it. Everyone will hopefully be happy, and another powerful blow struck against tyranny. This scenario is probably worth 6 or so Character Points.

Template Type: Brash Pilot, Character Name: Da'nil Inosanto,
Species: Near Human (Vril), Age: 23, Height: 1.81m, Weight: 76kg
Physical Description: Tall, slim, lithe. Almost too tall to be a
fighter pilot, but passed by the skin of his teeth. He has an extra
finger on each hand, and one joint more on both fingers and toes. His
skin is bluegreen, while his hair is long and white. His eyes are very
human-looking and sky blue - very surprising in the somewhat inhuman face.
Background: Descendant of a Vril-clan (Inosanto-clan, to be exact) who
was wiped out by Imperial troops on suspicion of harboring a Jedi
knight. (They were "guilty" of that, but that isn't very important.)
Only the Vrils out on a trading venture in a nearby system survived
the complete obliteration of the Vril colony. Da'nil was one of
them. Angry and sad, Da'nil swore that he would avenge this atrocity,
and joined the Rebel Alliance. At the battle of Endor both the Empire
itself and the Emperor was effectively destroyed, but Da'nil
discovered that it wasn't enough. Now, Da'nil is hunting every
Imperial ship within range and destroys it.
Personality: Happy and gay, usually, but gets cold and grim when
battle is joined. He grins triumphantly when he destroys something
that formerly was Imperial. He has a predisposition versus shiny
objects, and can be a little bit naive when it comes to the value of
such shiny, nice things (also known as plastic junk).

The Star of Calimban is named after the famous Schnorr' Spr'tt Jedi
Master Calimban. It created many fabulous artifacts, but the work it
became most widely known for was the Star of Calimban. The Star is a
powerful artifact known to be able to manipulate and influence the
Force. Exactly what its powers are is not known, because of the Purge
of the Emperor.
About the Star of Calimban:
The Pentastar Alignment is one of the largest splinters of the
Empire. The symbol of the Pentastar Alignment is a five-spiked star
which in turn is made out of five stars. The Pentastar Alignment is
built from five sector fleets, and controls a handful of sectors
between the Core and the Mid-Rim. This is an enormous amount of
resources, but because of their isolationist politics the New Republic
has little information beyond this. They have conquered some
Sienar/Santhe installations, and probably have their own R&D programs
for new weapons. The Pentastar Alignment is considered competent and
very dangerous.
About the Pentastar Alignment:
Kullasic Prime is a blue giant, and as a result only Kullasic IV is
livable without extensive terraforming or hostile environment life
support. Some stations are spread around the system, but Kullasic IV
is where most of the commerce is handled. It is a non-aligned world,
even though it is close to the sectors of the Pentastar Alignment.
About the Kullasic system:
The Yamari system is best known for its hunting trips, which only
Yamari 4 can offer. Yamari 4 has twoo moons, one large and one small,
and is even home to an indigenous sentient species. Yamari 4 is a
jungle planet. Neither of the two moons is large enough to retain an
atmosphere of its own.
About the Yamari system:
Barabel are very respectful towards Jedi, or persons they believe are
Jedi. They will almost always follow any commands of a Jedi knights,
no matter what their former orders were.
